Well, considering minorities did overwhelmingly vote for Kerry (including 91% of the black vote), that would make your argument kind of silly wouldn't it?

Next time a republican wins let's just ignorantly blame it on the white vote.

Yeah, im pretty sure the point he is making is that when its a minority candidate more minorities get out and vote for them. Not what percentage of minorities vote democrat that doesn't change very often.

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. The issue in 2008 and 2012 is much simpler than changing demographics or the decline of the republican party. There was what, a difference of 2 million popular votes between Obama and Romney? I wouldn't exactly take that to mean the republican party is doomed.

This election came down to urban counties voting en masse for Obama. Look at Florida. Most of the counties went red but the urban counties went overwhelmingly blue, and not coincidentally those counties are the most heavily populated and have the most minorities.

The pressure is now on the Dems to produce a candidate in 2016 who will have the same appeal Obama did, who will entice people who would otherwise not vote to get out and vote.

Apparently a campaign that trivializes rape, promotes creationism over evolution, and promises to harass legal immigrants is a bad campaign strategy. Who knew?

If the republican party is to continue, it needs to drop the bigoted, over zealous religious right. The GOP loses the majority on social issues a lot of the time. Ever wonder why so many of the moderate republicans jumped ship during the last 4 years? It is because the GOP caters to bigotry. That is the sad truth [You must be logged in to view images.

democrats have the same batshit crazy foreign policy. VP debates were who would bomb a country not building a nuclear weapon faster

That's Romney-economics.

Republicans need to run a minority candidate in 2016. Then we can watch with glee as democrats have to explain why he is actually white and a racist.

Don't really need to attack the candidate. It is incredibly hard to drum up support when you have people like Rush Limbaugh waving their Republican card and spouting inane garbage.

I never said there wasn't? Just saying that you don't need to target a candidate, just the party he is running under.
